All The Way Through - Poem by James Darwin Smith II

When the waterfall dries outOnly heat remainsSteam unseenBy the heat of each moment’s dwellingStagnantly locked in recurring day scaresOf what was done before

Within such a painful eventHides feelings that dearly want outStruggling to find peaceBeing tangled up by the confusion of doubt

Judgement came too many timesOverused its stay, you could sayA burden created by psychic notionsOf thinking well beyond each thoughtThat should have never been pondered in the first place

The search for more water remainsThe exploration to get every sad emotion drained

Striving for joyful tearsAll in love’s own name

Hoping for anxiety’s heat to cool downUpon a breeze that shall come throughGiving goose bumps to the resources hopeStriving for a golden driven venture anewUpon a new beginningThis very faith will soon be renewed

Here is to everything being, Brand newThe airs of change I surely feelBreathing sighs of self-reflected reliefIn the essence of a newly found view

Paradise out, paradise inIn outer realm of my existenceForming so strongly all from within

Now, with confidence I can finally say with a smileI am truly importantMore important Of what I have ever thought of myself before

My heart is full of loveDoubt will never anymore

I will fly higher than my own past expectationsFly higher than I have ever flown before

Look now, feel now

The sun shall shine stronglyOnto waters now golden upon my own heart’s view

This paradise within, is still under constructionBut knowing there is a blue print to its creationMakes me feel so graciously all brand new

No judgement in sightAll of my faith is becoming renewedLove is inside my heartSinging such loving tender tunes

Within the peace of my own mindMy soul flies More fearless than everTrusting to find love’s truest of truths

This journey has just begunLove, I now truly believe youYes, Love I now truly believe in youBut just promise, Please just never hurt me again

Even then I shall always guide myself all the way throughYes, All the way throughThat way my character will always stay true
